Abingdon, England OX14 3HG
Explore 6000 years of history in England’s oldest settlement. Abingdon Museum is in Abingdon’s historic centre, open 10am-4pm Tuesday to Sunday & bank holidays (closed 24 December to 2 January). The collection includes Neolithic finds through Ice Age, Roman, Saxon and Medieval artefacts to Abingdon’s industries such as Morland Brewery and MG works. They have the last MGB Roadster Special Edition off the production line in the gallery too! Set over four floors, the main exhibition is on the first floor with the Abingdon Ichthyosaur up on the second, alongside the famous Monks’ Map. If the weather’s good you can go up to the roof it’s only £2 for a million dollar view. Why not begin or end your visit to the County Hall with a trip to the Mouse Hole Cafe and Crossley Engine Pump exhibit in the Museum’s basement? The Mouse Hole was the first cafe in Abingdon to have an espresso machine back in 1959 and had a reputation as a ‘cool hangout’ for kids. (open 10-2pm, closed Sundays & Mondays)
